Diamond Bus - Unusual Workings

[Jack]

I've been told it's being swapped as soon as it gets back to West Bromwich...So I'd be quick if you are...

It's ok, I caught it earlier on the 16W, so happy I did get a ride, from Hamstead to West Brom. Hopefully it can sneak onto the 50 at some point.

It's non compliant for B'ham City Centre routes, so shouldn't appear at all.

I do know that, but look what happened today it got put out on the 16/W. Just think it would be nice if it could get onto the 50 like old times.

20913 is on the 82 today. Whether or not it's compliant I don't know, but what I do know is that a) it's rapid and b) very good heating. Perfect snowmobile lol

It's compliant, it's a Euro 4 Solo.

That's what a manager at Diamond told me @Jack...Guess it wasn't swapped...

No, it's not compliant.

[Jack]

No, it's not compliant.

It is Euro 4, look at @Kevin2017's latest fleetlist for Rotala, it shows 20913 as compliant for Solihull, it's a Euro 4 Solo.

20913 often does the Peak 50's which has to be Euro 4 and compliant, so I doubt it would be used on it if it wasn't Euro 4 and compliant!

I did not say it wasn't Euro 4.

But even being Euro 4, it still fails to meet the specification of the tender!

If it wasn't compliant then I doubt it would be used on the peak 50's, eh?

You are missing the point...

That Solo does not meet the specification for a 'Signature' service. Emissions is irrelevant.

It's AQPS compliant for the 50, but read what the statement said

So a 'Signature' has to have Signature bus. Many don't care whether it's a Signature bus or not, they just want to take them to where they need to be.
Even though there is an agreement that the Signature Services have to high spec Streetlites, everyday the 322** Streetlites are used which aren't high spec.
